This dataset is a slight modification of the original
Hispanic Scholars Survey, a survey of all living Spanish surnamed
United States doctorate recipients from the beginning of
record-keeping by higher education institution to 1973. The study was
conducted by Abdin Noboa, director of the Latino Institute Research
Division in Reston, Virginia. The survey was funded by Aspira of
America with additional support from the Puerto Rican Migration
Research Consortium. Modifications made to the original dataset
include the creation of an OSIRIS dictionary and the alteration of the
card-image format to an OSIRIS (LRECL) dataset structure. Respondents
were asked to provide information on degrees attained and to rate the
personal importance of their academic contributions, financial and
educational status, family life, and social life. They were also asked
about their childhoods and the importance of education in their
childhoods. Other variables include types of financial support
respondents received while pursuing their post-secondary degrees and
satisfaction with present occupation. Demographic information on
respondents includes age, sex, occupation, marital status and history,
birthplace, and parents' birthplace, occupation, and educational
level.
